AIM was built by saten himself, and gaven to those who follow but dont know there under the influence. Beat that demon and send him on its way.
and for other OS's, go to c:\windows\application data\aim\<screen name> and info is in there
I think I tried using that info thing once and it still cut my info off. I'm not sure though rely back some information for me squirrel.
Yes, it still cuts it off. I believe the limit is 1024 characters. The great part is... the built-in profile editor puts in so much extra crap, so if you know basic HTML (we're talking real basic here, with it's arms and legs cut off), you can eliminate most of the fluff.
But, when I was using AIM, the trick I used to get more out of my profile was to put a link to page I had hosted on some free webspace.
Don't forget the target="_self", or else it will just fire up your default browser. The best part of this is that you can use server-side scripting languages, like PHP, as the link target. Using this method, a little PHP script that I wrote, and a Winamp plugin, I was able to create a list of the most recent MP3s I had listened to, which was accessable through my AIM profile.Code:<a href="http://www.host.com/aim/aboutme.html" target="_self">About Me</a>
